Li Shu clicked his tongue.
Pei Song'an, a peculiar specimen of a man who loved getting jealous over nothing.
But then again, if someone didn't like you, why would he be willing to spend time and energy on needless jealousy?
Li Shu convinced himself very quickly. Exactly-Pei Song'an just liked him too much.
What else could he do? He couldn't act like some straight guy, bowing his head to play on his smartphone and pretending not to notice without saying a word, could he?
Whatever. Just soothe him a little.
At a time like this, whether you were wrong or not, assuming you were wrong was the right move!
"Did you talk to them?" Pei Song'an looked at him, letting the groundless jealousy in his chest spray and splatter at will.
Li Shu's thoughts were interrupted. "Yeah. The group owner said I needed to send three rose emojis to get the materials after joining. I even added a fist-and-palm salute to show my sincerity."
Not entirely satisfied, Pei Song'an lowered his eyes. "What else? Do they know you have a boyfriend?"
Li Shu: "?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa. How had that question suddenly slipped into this?
Li Shu thought Pei Song'an was joking, but Pei Song'an stayed perfectly still with their fingers interlaced, his dark eyes calm, as though he had found the perfect excuse to be unreasonable.
"Well... I haven't had a chance to tell them." Li Shu shook their interlaced hands, his scalp prickling under that stare. "No, wait. Pei Song'an, what exactly are you sulking about?"
After that, Li Shu even disregarded how Pei Song'an might take it and smugly praised himself a little. "Wow, I noticed something was off with your mood right away. I'm a genius!"
How bizarre. This man was especially difficult to talk to
